Whenever I need to buy new kit this is the place to go. Wendy and her team have excellent knowledge of the equipment they supply, access to information from manufacturers about the kit and an attitude to genuine customer service that is not often found in today's globalised corporate world. I have dealt with all the main UK broadcast suppliers and buying from Wendy's is by far the best experience.
Mini DA42 Powering Unit
The Mini-DA42 serves for powering digital microphones (especially the SuperCMIT) and for converting their output signals to analog. It allows the operation of digital microphones with devices which only offer analog inputs.
Inputs: AES42, Mode 1 (XLR-3F, 110 Ohms, black label)
Outputs (available through included Sub-D breakout cable):
Indicators: Green LED for power; red LED for "unlocked" (turns off when a digital microphone is connected and the circuitry of the Mini-DA42 locks on to that signal).
Power: DC 12 - 18 V / 200 - 500 mA, available through included AC adapter PSD DC with HIROSE plug.
Operation is also possible with other AC adapter models or batteries / rechargeable batteries.
Dynamic range of the Mini-DA42: 112 dB (A, RMS), >98dB (CCIR, q-peak)
Dynamic range of the SuperCMIT with the Mini-DA42: >107 dB (A, RMS), >96dB (CCIR, q-peak)
